great movie spoiled by a silly ending

Rating: 7/10 (11 January 2009)

I agree with the last poster and was overwhelmed for the first two thirds or so which struck me as feeling starkly realistic in style, and then severely underwhelmed by the ending which I thought was very po-or
I really thought once they found the compound that the plot would branch off into some interesting territory, instead it goes all Hollywood on us
Forgetting about the ending, the movie still has a lot going for it including some solid acting. It also combines creative visuals, music and sound. The film has a surreal silence for the most part, creating a claustrophobia which I really liked. This contrasts nicely with the bursts of noise during rage attacks
Also some nice details like the Foley on the eye opening at the start
Pity the ending wasn't approached differently, but you can't always have everything, and overall I got a lot more than I was expecting. Infinitely better than the sequel
